Snowdrops for Ike

The year 2006 finally ended. What a colourful year it has been, with so many ups and downs like an emotional rollercoaster ride. I don’t remember how 2006 started, probably with me studying for my 2nd year January exams. But what have I learnt from the events that happened in 2006? Hmm.. I learnt…

• How turning on the webcam helps to beat boredom
• How therapeutic MSN chatting is
• How to pick myself up again after falling down
• That jealousy can tear me apart
• That a night of crying makes me look prettier the next morning (cos I get double eyelids)
• How to be grateful after passing an impossible exam
• That everyone has different truths so I have no right of saying my truth is any truer than yours..and vice versa
• That you have to see and experience for yourself a certain event before giving a judgement. And if you’re not in the position to witness it…then don’t judge it. (and do consider yourself lucky)
• That it is actually possible for me to fall in love
• But I can’t keep on falling…cos I’ll land hard with a loud thud.
• That friends do change over time =(
• Maybe it’s easier to let go abruptly than pretending nothing is wrong
• Or maybe it’s not.
• That my mother has been sacrificing a lot, I’m loving her more every day.
• That I don’t have to feel upset about people from the past
• Sometimes, out of sight, out of mind…but still not out of heart. sigh..
• A letter from an old friend, a word from my dad, a concerned best friend…enough to keep myself going most of the time.
• Of course, a special someone’s presence would be nice.

And there’ll be a whole new lot of lessons coming up for 2007 and I know that they include…seeing furry friends is the best medicine of all! Woof! Happy new year!!
